TfiftEAR Young Friends, Members of Mission Bands, 
^=J Helpers in the good work of publishing the Gos- 
pel TO EVERY CREATURE I 

This little Hymnal, designed for your use, is to you affection- 
ately inscribed. It is gratifying to know that the number of your 
Bands, already large, and confined to no one denomination, is con- 
stantly increasing. The high testimony that you have already 
received is full of encouragement. In view of the fact, that at all 
your meetings, singing forms, very appropriately, an important part 
of the exercises, the need of a special collection of Hymns has 
been greatly felt by some of your number. To meet this want, this 
Manual of Sacred Songs has been prepared. It consists largely of 
Hymns never before brought together. A considerable number, 
having been written expressly for this work and adapted to favor- 
ite tunes, are now published for the first time. Inasmuch as you 
represent all ages, some being older, others younger, the aim 
has been to furnish Hymns suitable for all. Some of the Hymns 
are directly missionary in their character, while others are only 
indirectly so; by which is meant, that while they contain no direct 
reference to missions, the end in view, it is believed, is not less 
effectually secured, by their fitness to excite gratitude and love to 
Christ, and zeal for His cause. 

In conclusion, let me improve this hallowed time, devoted to the 
singing of sweet Christmas carols by the glad voices of children, 
and the general interchange of happy greetings and good wishes, 
to send you my own loving salutation in that form, which the 
blessed Saviour Himself used and taught His disciples to use — 
"Peace be with you!" that "peace which passeth all under- 
standing." E. s. C.

\ Missionary Chant. L. M. 

LIFT up your heads, ye gates ! swing wide, 
Ye dazzling portals of the morn ! 
Forth let the Filial Godhead ride 
On wings of cherubim upborne ! 

2 Nor dare, thou flushed and flattered East ! 
The Sun of Righteousness to stay, 

Now that the long dark night hath ceased, 
And souls are hungry for the day. 

3 On mountain tops, bright heralds stand, 
With beautiful and shining feet. 

And publish over sea and land 

The welcome tidings glad and sweet : 

4 He comes ! The sky is all on fire : 
We see the bannered pomp unfurled, 

The advancing Splendor rushing higher 
To flood and overflow the world !

T I 7HAT means this glory round our feet," 



The Magi mused, " more bright than morn ? " 
And voices chanted strong and sweet, 
" To-day, the Prince of Peace is born ! " 

2 "What means this star," the shepherds said, 
" That brightens through the rocky glen ? " 

And angels answering overhead, 

Sang " Peace on earth, good will to men ! " 

3 'Tis eighteen hundred years and more, 
Since those sweet oracles were dumb ; 

We wait for Him like them of yore ; 
Alas ! He seems so long to come ! 

4 But it was said in w r ords of gold, 
No time or sorrow e'er shall dim, 

That little children might be bold, 
In perfect trust to come to Him. 

5 All round about our feet shall shine 
A light, like that the w T ise men saw, 

If we our loving wills incline 

To that sweet Life which is the Law. 



A SAVIOUR WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD 

Lu. 2. II. 

6 So shall we learn to understand 

The simple faith of shepherds, then, 
And kindly clasping hand in hand, 

Sing, " Peace on earth, good will to men ! " 

James Russell Lowell. 



Oriola. G. M. Double. 

IT came upon the midnight clear, 
That glorious song of old, 
From angels bending near the earth 

To touch their harps of gold : 
: Peace to the earth, good will to man, 
From heaven's all gracious King : " 
The earth in solemn stillness lay, 
To hear the angels sing. 

2 Still thro' the cloven skies they come, 

With peaceful wings unfurled ; 
And still celestial music floats 

O'er all the weary world ; 
Above its sad and lowly plains 

They bend on heavenly wing, 
And ever o'er its Babel sounds 

The blessed angels sing !

THE CON SOLA TION OF ISRAEL 

Lu. 2. 25. 

3 ye, beneath life's crushing load, 
Whose forms are bending low, 

Who toil along the climbing way, 

With painful steps and slow, 
Look up ! for glad and golden hours 

Come swiftly on the wing ; 
rest beside the weary road, 

And hear the angels sing ! 

4 For, lo, the days are hastening on, 
By prophet- bards foretold, 

When with the ever- circling years 

Comes round the age of gold ! 
When peace shall over all the earth 

Its final splendors fling. 
And the whole world send back the song 

Which now the angels sing. 

Edmund H. Sears.

Agate. 11. 

NIGHT'S canopy over Judea now hung ; 
The harp of the minstrel lay still and unstrung ; 
The shepherds together sat watching the fold, 
While round them reigned darkness and silence and cold. 



THE HOPE OF ISRAEL 

Acts 28. 20. 

2 And now, in their midst, shines an angel of light ; 
Quick vanishes Fear at the radiant sight ! 

And hark, in the words of their own native tongue, 
" Good tidings of joy," by the angels are sung. 

3 " This day, in the city of David is born 

A Saviour, whose birth is Redemption's glad morn ; 
No longer through darkness and doubt shall ye grope, 
In Bethlehem's manger lies Israel's Hope ! " 

4 A chorus angelic re-echoes in Heaven 

The glorious news to the meek shepherds given : 

" Peace, peace and good will unto earth ! " is their song, 

While praises to God the loud paean prolong. 

Elizabeth C. Kinney. 



Rifted Rock. 8, 7. 

HE that lay in lowly manger, 
Now is known as Heaven's King ; 
What but angels sang, aforetime, 
Now have men been taught to sing : 

2 " God have glory, in the highest : 
Peace on earth, good will towards men: 
Over all the tide of ages, 
Ever now as it was then." 



LORD OF ALL 

Acts 10. 36. 

3 Lo, He came, the Lord of glory ! 
Born and cradled in a stall : 

Sure He had but scanty welcome, 
Seeing He was Lord of all. 

4 Yet, in sooth, He sought no other ; 
Nor to earth for homage came ; 
Here he took the form of servant, 
Here he bared the cheek to shame. 

5 Not of this world was His Kingdom, 
He lived not at monarch's cost ; 

He sought not the known and honored, 
But He came to seek the lost. 

6 Glory, worship, love and service, 
To the Blessed One in Three ; 

As it was in the beginning, 
Is, and evermore shall be. 



Robert Lowell.

Q Rosefield. 7, 6. 

S with gladness men of old 
Did the guiding star behold ; 
As with joy they hailed its light 
Leading onward, beaming bright ; 
So, most gracious Lord, may we 
Evermore be led to Thee.

THE LAMB THE LIGHT THEREOF 

Rev. 21. 23. 

2 Holy Jesus, every day 
Keep us in the narrow way ; 
And, when earthly things are past, 
Bring our ransomed souls at last 
Where they need no star to guide, 
Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 



3 In the heavenly country bright, 
Need they no created light ; 
Thou, its Life, its Joy, its Crown, 
Thou, its Sun which goes not down ; 
There, forever, may we sing 
Hallelujahs to our King. 

William C. Dix. 



DOXOLOGY. 

Praise the name of God most high : 
Praise Him all below the sky ; 
Praise Him all ye heavenly host, 
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost : 
As through countless ages past, 
Evermore His praise shall last ! 



THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR 

Rev. 22. 16. 

Evan. G. M. 

AS shadows cast by cloud and sun, 
Flit o'er the summer grass, 
So, in Thy sight, Almighty One ! 
Earth's generations pass. 

2 And while the years, an endless host, 
Gome passing swiftly on, 

The brightest names that earth can boast, 
Just glisten and are gone. 

3 Yet doth the star of Bethlehem shed 
A lustre pure and sweet ; 

And still it leads, as once it led, 
To the Messiah's feet. 

4 And deeply, at this latter day, 
Our hearts rejoice to see 

How children, guided by its ray, 
Gome to the Saviour's knee. 

5 Father, may that holy Star 
Grow every year more bright, 

And send its glorious beams afar, 
To fill the world with light. 

William Cullen Bryant.

KING OVER ALL THE EARTH 

Zech. 14 9. 

[As a leaf typifies the whole tree from which it has fallen, so does 
a lofty snow-capped mountain at the equator represent the whole 
earth in miniature. Indeed, the globe may be compared to two 
great mountains set base to base at the equator, the summit of the 
one being the north pole and the other the south pole. In ascend- 
ing Orizaba, or>ny other of the giant peaks of the Andes of Quito, 
the traveler passes successively through all the climates of the earth, 
the seasons of the year, and the zones of vegetable and animal life. 
He can see, when he has reached the summit, what is elsewhere 
spread horizontally over the earth's surface, and over the whole 
year, vertically represented along the side of the mountain below 
him ; while above him, if he be there over night, he can behold the 
whole firmament of stars, those of the northern as well as those of 
the southern hemisphere — the Southern Cross and the Magellanic 
clouds around the Antarctic pole, and the constellation of the 
Plough around the Arctic pole. Such a mountain summit is the 
watch-tower of creation, from which with overpowering emotion 
the eye may embrace, in one glorious view, the whole universe of 
things.] 

8 Ingleside. C. M. 

THERE is one spot where man may stand, 
And at a single glance, 
All glories of the sky and land 
Behold in rapture's trance. 

2 The heavens unroll their mystic scroll 
Of stars above his head ; 

The Cross and Plough at either pole 
Their rays together shed. 

3 All seasons meet beneath the same 
Triumphal arch of blue ; 

And all earth's charms combine to frame 
One picture to his view. 

13 



THE INTERPRETER 

Job 33. 23. 

4 Oh could we find some central peak, 
High in the world of soul, 

From whence the broken views we seek 
Might blend in one great whole ; 

5 Where we, above all doubt, might stand 
In air as crystal clear, 

And every mystery understand, 
And bring all distance near. 

6 We stand upon a point so low, 
We see of earth and sky 

But one small arc ; in part we know ; 
In part we prophesy. 

7 In vain we long for larger views, 
Which loftier heights impart ; 

The limits of our life refuse 
The wishes of our heart. 

8 While here, the wisest sage must live 
By faith and jiot by sight ; 

For duty only, Heaven will give 
Enough of guiding light. 

14 



THE TRUE LIGHT 

John i. 9. 

9 But when, at last, from life's dark road, 
We climb heaven's heights serene, 

All light upon the hill of God, 
In God's light shall be seen. 

10 All kingdoms of the truth shall there, 
To tearless eyes be shown; 
And dwelling in that purer air, 
We'll know as we are known. 



Hugh Macmillan. 



9 Holman. 8, 6, 8. 

NORTH, with all thy vales of green ! 
South, with all thy palms ! 
From peopled towns and fields between 

Uplift the voice of psalms. 
Raise, ancient East ! the anthem high, 
And let the youthful West reply. 

2 Lo ! in the clouds of heaven appears 

God's well beloved Son. 
He brings a train of brighter years, 

His kingdom is begun. 
He comes a guilty world to bless 
With mercy, truth, and righteousness. 

15 



MY BELOVED SON 

Mat. 3. 17. 

3 Father ! haste the promised hour, 
When at His feet shall lie 

All rule, authority, and power, 

Beneath the ample sky; 
When he shall reign from pole to pole, 
The Lord of every human soul. 

4 When all shall heed the words He said, 
Amid their daily cares, 

And by the loving life He led, 

Shall strive to pattern theirs ; 
And He who conquered Death shall win 
The mightier conquest over Sin. 

William Cullen Bryant

But compass land and sea,

T Thy feet, our God and Father, 
Who hast blessed us all our days, 
We with grateful hearts would gather, 

And begin the year with praise : 
Praise for light so brightly shining 

On our steps from heaven above : 
Praise for mercies daily twining 
Round us golden cords of love. 

2 Jesus, for Thy love most tender 
On the cross for sinners shown, 

We would praise Thee, and surrender 
All our hearts to be Thine own.

Sure of being safely guided, 

Guarded well from every foe. 

3 Every day will be the brighter, 

When Thy gracious face we see ; 
Every burden will be lighter, 

When we know it comes from Thee. 
Spread Thy love's broad banner o'er us, 

Give us strength to serve and wait, 
Till Thy glory breaks before us, 

Through the City's open gate. 

J. D. Burns.

ALWAYS love to praise Thee, Lord ; 
I cannot sing to show my art ; 
I could not sing the solemn word 
Except I felt it with my heart.

2 I try to keep my spirit clean, 
But oh, I feel it is not so, 

And oft my sight of things unseen, 
Is darkened by my sin I know. 

18 



HE IS ALTOGETHER LOVELY 

Cant. 5. 1 6. 

3 But when I go to heaven above, 

I then shall see Him face to face, 
And for the fullness of that love 
Impurity can find no place. 

4 I cannot always here below 
Sing out Thy praises as I would ; 

The music will not always flow 
As unto Thee it ever should. 

5 But there the singing will be grand, 
And I, I hope, shall know that song 

The pure alone can understand ; 
Let me not wait, Lord, very long.

When employed, dear Lord, for Thee ; 

Tongue should never cease the telling 
Of Thy grace who diedst for me. 
Even me.

Stammering lips can publish Thee, 

Sound Thy name o'er land and ocean, 
Be it sounded, Lord, by me ! 
Even me.

Help us ever to adore Thee, 

All through life Thy grace to show.

For those whose ears have never heard 
The promise and the hope of heaven ;

WHAT if the little rain should say, 
" So small a drop as I 
Can ne'er refresh those thirsty fields 
I'll tarry in the sky ! " 

2 What if a shining beam at noon 
Should in its fountain stay, 

Because its feeble light alone 
Cannot create a day. 

3 Doth not each rain drop help to form 
The cool refreshing shower ? 

And every ray of light to warm 
And beautify the flower ? 

4 Go thou and strive to do thy share ; 
One talent — less than thine. 

Improved with steady zeal and care 
Would gain rewards divine.

Load the air with perfumes 

From their beauty shed ; 
Yet their lavish spending 

Leaves them not in dearth, 
With fresh life replenished 

By their mother earth.

THE FAITHFUL AND TRUE WITNESS 

Rev. 3. 14. 

Here thy perfect duty see 
All that God requires of thee. 

2 Wouldst thou, when thy faults are known, 
Wish that pardon should be shown. 

Be forgiving then and do 

As thou wouldst be done unto. 

3 Shouldst thou helpless be and poor, 
Wouldst thou not for aid implore ? 
Think of others then and be 

What thou w r ouldst they should to thee. 

4 For compassion if thou call, 
Be compassionate to all ; 

If thou wouldst affection find, 
Be affectionate and kind. 

5 If thou wouldst obtain the love 
Of thy gracious God above, 
Then to all His children be 

What thou wouldst they should to thee.

THE LAMB OF GOD 

John i, 29 36. 

2 Fain I would be as Thou art, 
Give me Thy obedient heart ; 
Thou art pitiful and kind, 

Let me have Thy loving mind. 

3 Let me above all fulfil, 

As Thou dost, Thy Father's will ; 
Never Thy good Spirit grieve, 
Only to Thy glory live. 

4 Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb, 
In Thy gracious hands I am, 
Make me Saviour what Thou art, 
Live Thyself within my heart.

THE lambs of Jesus ! who are they 
But children that believe and pray ? 
That keep God's laws and ask His grace 
And seek a heavenly dwelling place ! 

2 The lambs of Jesus ! they are meek, 
The words of peace and truth they speak ; 
To all God's creatures they are kind, 
And, like their Lord, of gentle mind.

And lead us to the fold above.

LITTLE travelers Zionward, 
Each one enteriug into rest, 
In the kingdom of your Lord, 

In the mansion of the blest ; 
There to welcome Jesus waits ; 

Gives the crowns His followers win ; 
Lift your heads, ye golden gates, 
Let the little travelers in ! 

2 Who are they whose little feet, 

Pacing life's dark journey through, 
Now 7 have reach'd the heavenly seat, 

They have ever kept in view ? 
" I, from Greenland's frozen land ; " 

" I, from India's sultry plain ; " 
" I, from Afric's barren sand ; " 

" I, from islands of the main."

Who tries it only can believe 
How choice that blessedness !

41 Wanderer. L. M. Double. 

[ HE Banyan of the Indian isle 
Spreads deeply down its massive root, 
And spreads its branching life abroad, 
And bends to earth its scarlet fruit ; 
But when the branches reach the ground. 

They firmly plant themselves again, 
They rise and spread and droop and root, 
An ever green and endless chain. 

2 And so the Church of Jesus Christ, 
The blessed Banyan of our God, 

Fast rooted upon Zion 's mount. 
Has sent its sheltering arms abroad ; 

41 



THE BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS 

Jer- 33- *5- 

And every branch that from it springs, 

In sacred beauty spreading wide 
As low it bends to bless the earth, 

Still plants another by its side. 

3 Long as the world itself shall last 

The sacred Banyan still shall spread, 
From clime to clime, from age to age, 

Its sheltering shadow shall be shed, 
Nations shall seek its pillar'd shade, 

Its leaves shall for their healing be ; 
The circling flood that feeds its life, 

The blood that crimsoned Calvary.

45 Expostulation. 11. 

BLEST land of Judea ! thrice hallowed of song 
Where the holiest of memories pilgrim -like throng ; 
In the shade of thy palms, by the shores of thy sea, 
On the hills of thy beauty, my heart is with thee.

THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL 

Is. 41. 14 : 54. 5. 

2 With the eye of a spirit I look on that shore. 
Where pilgrim and prophet have lingered before ; 
With the glide of a spirit I traverse the sod 
Made bright by the steps of the angels of God. 

3 Blue sea of the hills ! — in my spirit I hear 
Thy waters, Gennesaret, chime on my ear ; 
Where the Lowly and Just with the people sat down 
And thy spray on the dust of His sandals was thrown. 

4 Lo. Bethlehem's hill-site before me is seen, 

With the mountains around, and the valleys between ; 
There rested the shepherds of Judah, and there 
The song of the Angels rose sweet on the air. 

5 And Bethany's palm trees in beauty still throw 
Their shadows at noon on the ruins below : 

But where are the sisters who hastened to greet 
The lowly Redeemer, and sit at His feet ? 

6 And throned on her hills sits Jerusalem yet, 

But with dust on her forehead, and chains on her feet, 
For the crown of her pride to the mocker hath gone, 
And the holy Shechinah is dark where it shone.

THE CHOSEN OF GOD 

Lu. 23. 35. 

7 I tread where the Twelve in their wayfaring trod ; 
I stand where they stood with the Chosen of God ; 
Where His blessing was heard and His lessons were 

taught, 
Where the blind were restored and the healing was 
wrought. 

8 And what if my feet may not tread where He stood,. 
Nor my ears hear the dashing of Galilee's flood, 

Nor my eyes see the cross which He bowed Him to bear,. 
Nor my knees press Gethsemane's garden of prayer. 

9 Yet loved of the Father, Thou, Jesus, art near 
To the meek, and the lowly, and penitent, here ; 
And the voice of Thy love is the same even now, 
As at Bethany's tomb, or on Olivet's brow. 

John G. Whittier, 
46 LOU VAN. 

r PHEY err who think that God is far, 

1 That I must climb from star to star, 
Through mighty intervals of space, 
To reach His awful dwelling-place. 

2 I put the shoes from off my feet ; 
I go not forth my God to meet ; 
For God is everywhere, and here, 
Here in this place to make it dear. 

47 



I AM THAT I AM 

Ex. 3. 14 : John 8. 58. 

3 Long time I groped and could not find ; 
For light is darkness to the blind ; 

How sweet to feel, now, He is found, 
His everlasting arms around ! 

4 Upon His bosom thus to rest, 
I cannot ask to be more blest ; 
To know my sins are all forgiven 
For Jesus' sake, this is heaven ! 

5 While I love Him and He loves me, 
I care no other heaven to see ; 

And if there be some higher bliss, 
I am content while I have this. 

6 And there are those beyond the wave 
Whom Christ came down on earth to save : 
let me haste to make it known, 

My God and Saviour is their own.

2 Was there ever known such malice ? 
Gall of hatred in the chalice 

For Thy lips of love wrung out ; 
Priests with scribes and elders, mocking, 
As they pass, sight most shocking ! 

Wag their heads, revile and flout. 

3 Was there, Thine own words to borrow, 
Ever sorrow like Thy sorrow, 

When our sins were on Thee laid ! 
Sorrow, which that cry could waken, 
" Why, My God, am I forsaken? " 

Never was since worlds were made. 

4 Never after such dear fashion 

Was there witnessed such compassion : 
Publish ye, who know the grace, 

Make commanded proclamation 

Of the Gospel of salvation 
To each creature of the race !

2 This song repeat, ye saints in glory, 

God is Love, God is Love. 
And saints on earth shout back the story, 

God is Love, God is Love. 
In this let heaven and earth agree 
To sound His love both full and free, 
And let the theme forever be, 

God is Love. God is Love. 



3 Creation's thousand tongues proclaiming 

God is Love, God is Love. 
And Providence unites exclaiming 

God is Love, God is Love. 
But let the burdened sinner hear 
The gospel sounding loud and clear, 
To every soul both far and near, 

God is Love, God is Love.

Why do I, with empty pride, 

Call the little garden mine, 

When my work is Thine, beside ? 

3 It I claim it for my own, 

Thon wilt give me its poor gain ; 
And, at harvest, I, alone, 

May bring fruits to Thee in vain. 

4 If I give myself to Thee 

For Thy work, all poor and mean, 
As Thou pleasest it shall be, 
If I much or little glean. 

5 Other work for me is none 
But to do the Master's will ; 

Wet with rain, or parched with sun, 
Meekly I Thy garden till.

" We are dying by millions, oh, let us not die ! 

Gome over and help us, we plead ! 
To famishing souls swiftest succor afford, 

The means of salvation us give ; 
By the might of the Word of the Lord 
We then shall eternally live." 

2 We hear blended with these far off pleadings 
of pain, 

The main's multitudinous moan ; 
While th' importunate voice sighs again and again 

Its prayer in varying tone ; 
From many-hued people of different speech. 

The wail o'er the deep finds its way : 
" We are dying, with life within reach, 

Gome over and help us straightway!" 

3 Who, unmoved, see their brother's deep lack, 
can there dwell 

The love of the Father in such ? 
To whom much is forgiven, 'tis needful and well 
That they in return should love much.

Thy forgiving voice is heard, 

Coming from the open pages 

Of the volume of Thy word : 
For Thy love which changeth never, 

For Thy mercy to the race, 
Blessed be Thy name forever, 

God of truth and God of grace ! 

Abraham Coles.

THOU God of Love ! Thy glories bright

THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD 

Col. i. 15. 

We see Thee in the stars of night, 
The splendors of the morn. 

2 From east to west, from south to north. 
Thou dost in all appear ; 

But art supremely shadowed forth 
In Charity sincere. 

3 Sweet Charity ! divinest grace. 
Inclusive of the rest, 

Pictures Thine image in the face 
And glorifies the breast. 

4 Since it was this once caused to bleed 
Incarnate Deity, 

To minister to suffering need 
Is to resemble Thee. 

5 On great or small Thy hand bestows 
No higher honor, than 

To make them channels through which flows 
Eternal life to man. 

6 Thou wilt reward those seeking none ; 
And make them wondering see 

That what they to the least have done 
Was done alike to Thee. 

Abraham Coles.

THE BREAD OF GOD 

John 6. 33. 

62 SlLOAM. C. M. 

BLEST Lord, who hungry thousands fed, 
Look with a pitying eye, 
Where fainting for the living bread, 
The heathen nations lie. 

2 Light in our hearts that ardent flame 
Which brought Thee from above. 

That we may long to teach Thy name, 
And glorify Thy love ; 

3 That we may take the food divine, 
From Thy creating hands, 

And, though unnumbered millions pine, 
Feed all the starving lands. 

4 Grant that before Thy judgment seat 
No soul may have to say, 

When Thou didst bid, " ' Give them to eat,' 
I hungry went away." 



Mrs. Galusha Anderson.

I AVE we not all one Father ? Yea,- 
Hath not one God created us ? 
How are we better then than they, 
Barbarians, not favored thus?

A FRIEND OF SINNERS 

Mat. ii. 19 

2 He who bows down to stocks and stones, 
Brutish and ignorant and base, 

With us a common nature owns, 

An upright form and heavenward face. 

3 His coarser appetites may crave 
Coarse food on which his body feeds, 

But he too has a soul to save, 
With similar immortal needs. 

4 Despise not him for whom Christ died. 
However low despise him not : 

Dear, doubtless, to the Crucified 
Is the benighted Hottentot.

Abraham Coles. 

Q4: Sweet Hour of Prayer. 8. 

OVV sweet the memory of those, 
Who toiled for Christ, and now repose 
Beneath the soil their feet had trod, 
While that they sowed the seed of God ; 
In whom the Saviour's love so w T rought, 
They gave up all, and judged it nought ; 
Deeming His smile made rich amends 
For loss of country, home, and friends. 

2 As instruments of Heaven's sweet will, 
Their delicate fingers used their skill 

64 



THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD 

John 8. 12. 

To couch the cataract of sin, 

And let the welcome splendor in : 

How glorious, when to eyes unsealed, 

A heavenly beauty was revealed ; 

By spiritual miracle of sight 

Made conscious of a world of light ! 

3 What if no future sun should rise ? 
No morrow break in eastern skies ? 
For aye, to all of woman born 
Were shut and sealed the gates of morn, 
Streaked by no gleam of dawning light, 
The endless horror of that night ? 
To weary watchers for the Day 
What joy were in a single ray ! 

Abraham Coles, 

(35 Spanish Hymn. 7. Double. 

ABBA, Father, God of love, 
Hallowed be Thy name, by all 
In the height of heaven above, 
And on this terrestrial ball. 
May Thy kingdom come in power. 

Subjugating all to Thee ; 
Other kingdoms Thine devour 
That there only one may be. 

65 



THE EVERLASTING FATHER 

Is. 9. 6 

2 May Thy righteous will be done 
By the fallen race of man, 

Back to old allegiance won, 
Serving Thee as angels can, 

Who have kept their first estate, 
And are strong and swift of wing, 

Always eager and elate, 

Quick to bear and quick to bring. 

3 Give our bodies needful food, 
Day by day their wants supply, 

And withhold not heavenly food 
Lest our starving spirits die : 

Man lives not by bread alone ; 
Should Thy blessing not attend 

Bread's no better than a stone, 
Soon our mortal lives would end. 

4 Debts to law and justice due, 
Freely cancel and forgive ; 

Our revengeful souls renew 
That we may not die but live ; 

Since, if we match not the grace 
Whereby Thou our sin dost blot. 

Doubtful will be left the case 
Whether Thou fordv'st or not. 



OUR HELP AND OUR SHIELD 

Ps. 33. 20. 

5 For that we are weak and frail. 

Lead us not where danger lies ; 
If the enemy assail, 

Let it not be a surprise. 
In the dark and dreadful hour. 

From the Evil One deliver, 
For the Kingdom's Thine and power, 

Now, hereafter, and forever. 

Abraham Coles.

A CHIEF CORNER STONE, ELECT, PRECIOUS 

i Peter 2. 6. 

Rear altars to Freedom, and pay their devotions ; 
Where our fathers in fight, nobly strove for the Right, 
Struck down their fierce foemen or put them to flight ; 
Through the long lapse of ages, that so there might be 
An asylum for all in the Land of the Free. 



2 Behold, from each zone under heaven they come ! 

And haughtiest nations, that once far outshone thee, 
Now paled by thy lustre, lie prostrate and dumb, 

And render due homage, and no more disown thee. 
All the isles for thee wait, w T hile that early and late, 
Not a wind ever blows but w r afts hither rich freight, 
And the swift sailing ships, that bring over the sea 
The oppressed of all lands to the Land of the Free. 



3 As entranced I look down the long vista of years, 

And behold thine existence to ages extended, 
What a scene, my country, of wonder appears ! 

How kindling the prospect, surpassing and splendid ! 
Each lone mountain and glen, and waste wilderness 

then, 
I see covered with cities, and swarming with men, 
And miraculous Art working marvels for thee 
To lift higher thy greatness, thou Land of the Free ! 

72 



A SURE FOUNDATION 

Is. 28. 16. 

4 From our borders expel all oppression and wrong, 

Oh Thou, who didst plant us and make us a nation ! 
In the strength of Thy arm make us evermore strong ; 
On our gates inscribe Praise, on our walls write 
Salvation ; 
May Thyself be our light, from Thy heavenly height 
Ever flashing new splendors and chasing our night. 
That united and happy we ever may be 
To the end of all time, still the Land of the Free ! 

Abraham Coles. 

71 " Thank God for the Bible." 

THANK God for the Bible ! 'tis there that we find 
The story of Christ and His love — 
How He came down to earth from His beautiful home 
In the mansions of glory above. 
Thanks to Him we will bring, 
Praise to Him we will sing, 
For He came down to earth from His beautiful home 
In the mansions of glory above. 

2 While He lived on this earth to the sick and the blind 

And to mourners His blessings were given ; 
And He said let the little ones come unto me, 
For of such is the kingdom of heaven. 
Jesus calls us to come, 
He's prepared us a home. 
73 



THE POWER OF GOD 

i Cor. i. 24. 

For He said let the little ones come unto me 
For of such is the kingdom of heaven. 

3 In the Bible we read of a beautiful land, 
Where sorrow and pain never come ; 

For Jesus is there with a heavenly band 

And there has prepared us a home. 

Jesus calls, shall we stay? 

No ! we'll gladly obey, 

For Jesus is there with a heavenly band 

And there has prepared us a home. 

4 Thank God for the Bible ! its truths o'er the earth 
We'll scatter with bountiful hand ; 

But we never can tell what a Bible is worth 
Till we go to that beautiful land. 

There our thanks we will bring. 
There with angels we'll sing, 
And its worth w r e can tell when with Jesus we dwell 
In heaven — that beautiful land. 

72 Baxter. 10. 

HEAVEN is not reached at a single bound ; 
But we build the ladder by which we rise, 
From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, 
And we mount to its summit round by round. 
74 



MESSIAH, THE PRINCE 

Dan. 9. 25. 

2 I count this thing to be grandly true : 
That a noble deed is a step toward God, 
Lifting the soul from the common clod 

To a purer air and a broader view.

The Indian of the West,

And gardens of the blest ;

5 Asia, the dwelling-place 
Of dragons, shall be clad 

With plants and flowers of grace. 

And all her wastes be glad ; 
The wilderness, no longer dumb, 
Exultant sing, The Lord is come ! 

6 And Europe's unfenced grounds, 
Where thorns and briars grow, 

Shall leap through all her bounds — 

A Paradise below ; 
The wilderness, no longer dumb, 
Exultant sing, The Lord is come ! 

7 Dear day of God, make haste ! 
Let not the time be long 

When sin no more shall waste, 

No more shall triumph wrong, 
The wilderness, no longer dumb, 
Exultant sing. The Lord is come !
